RE: Steemit Private Messages UI Design Concept - Desktop
I like it, but I'd also like to see a feature which Facebook uses which, by default, hides messages from people you do not follow. This, to me, is important. Sure, I can mute people, but as the platform grows, I'll have to spend all my time muting and that's a waste. I'd like to see followed messages given much more priority over random spam. Also, maybe a way to filter out links, like Twitter did with their DMs early on. If you tried to send a link, it failed.
I think spam is going to be more and more of a problem as the platform grows, so I hope we learn and improve on the lessons the other big social media platforms have already learned.
I agree completely, having messages hidden (unfollowed Users) and put into another section below All Messages like muted Users would be (in my design) would definatly work. I would suggest, like I did in another comment, to add a setting where users can choose to hide or show these messages automatically. As for links.. removing the markdown code for links would solve the link issue with almost no coding.
Implementing this would defiantly increase the amount of spam, however using these techniques or a combination of these with other socials media methods should keep it at bay.
